STEP 1
Connect Cortex and TheHive
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
Cortex and TheHive Integration
Build developer tools workflows between Cortex and TheHive on a visual canvas — set up data fields sync between apps once and let data flow when events come automatically. Integration will work without code and your team will see the workflow inside WEXTL® builder.

Learn about Cortex and TheHive
Detailed info you need to know about Cortex and TheHive integrations in WEXTL. Explore which modules apps support and how you connect them.
How to connect Cortex to TheHive
Set up your Cortex and TheHive integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected Cortex and TheHive nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between Cortex and TheHive. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between Cortex and TheHive work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for Cortex and TheHive that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Cortex and TheHive.
Connect your Cortex and TheHive accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when TheHive's "Watch New Alerts" fires, WEXTL can "Delete Analyzer" in Cortex. Cortex has 13 actions (including Delete Analyzer, Delete Job, and Get Analyzer); TheHive has 70 actions (including Analyze Observable, Create Alert, and Create Alert Observable). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. Cortex-to-TheHive automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Cortex (or TheHive) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your Cortex + TheHive automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
